The process consists of two stages. The first stage is to assess the importance at a national level, based on the habitats and species listed in Annex I and II. The second stage is to assess the importance for Europe as a whole, again based on the two earlier annexes. Annex IV Annex IV lists species of interest to Europe which are in need of strict protection.
